Hmmm... sounds confusing, you poor thing.

First of all, what ARE the 6 markers for Sjogrens?

I had that DX then the next Rhuemy took it away because the labs didnt show it. The first Rheumy was so sure but she moved.

I was put on Plaquenil and Methotrexate after a 3 week oral prednisone. I did not like Methotrexate, made me sick. ITs a cancer drug used for auto immune disorders like Rheumatoid arthritis etc. BUT it helped my spasticiy go away!! Go figure!!

I took something for dry mouth, which I loved as it instantly worked giving me spit and making it easier to talk/teach.

There is a GREAT Sjogren's forum I was on and they were very welcoming. The moderators make sure your posts are answered. Not as big as Ms World or this forum but very very friendly and caring.
THey are experts on auto immune diseases esp sjogrens.

Hope you get relief. Keep me informed
